I0 all iuhom/ it puny concern;

Be it known that we, FRED A. TAYLOR and NATHAN E. FLINT, citizens of theUnited States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Franciscoand State of California, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in a Combined Purse and Hose- Support; and we do declarethe following to be a full, clear, and exact description of theinvention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, 'and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful im provements in pocket-books;and the object of the invention is to produce a simple and efiicientdevice of this nature which may be adapted to be fastened tohose-supporters, and in carrying out the invention it is our purpose tomake the partitions between the compartments of the pocket-book withextended flaps, which .are adapted to fold one over the other for thepurpose of closing the compartments, and in the provision ofaglovefastening button carried by the strap upon the back of thepocket-book and adapted to hold the pocket-book upon the straps of thehose-supporter.

Our invention consists, further, in various details of construction andin combinations and arrangements of parts, which will be hereinafterfully described and then-specifically defined in the appended claims.

Our invention is illustrated in the accom panying drawings, which, withthe letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of thisapplication, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of our inventionillustrated as applied to hose-supporters. Fig. 2 is a rear elevationshowing the manner of attachment of the pocket-book to the branchingstraps of the supporter.- Fig. 3 is a sectional View on line 3 3 of Fig.2 and Fig. 4 is a detail view showing the construction of the partitionsof the pocket-book.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, Adesignates a pad Serial No. 203,912. (No model) I,

which may be supported in anysuitable manner, and B Bdesignate strapssecured to said pad, and C designates buckleswhich are secured to thestraps vD attheir middle portions, and the tongues ofsaid buckles aredesigned to engage the straps B, whereby-the two series of straps may bedetachably held together. The hose-supporting devices E are secured tothe ends of the straps D. The pocket-book comprises the back F, having acontracted projecting portion F, forming a strap "which is adapted to beengaged by the tongue of one of said buckles, as illustrated, whereby.the pocket-book may be held to the hose-supporting straps.

G G designate the partitions dividing the pocket-book into compartments,the ends of said partitions projecting beyond the end of thepocket-book, forming flaps Gr, carrying socket members 9, whicharedesigned to en-- gage the fasteners H, secured to the front face ofthe pocket-book in the manner illustrated in dotted lines in thedrawings, in which position one flap overlaps the other in the mannerillustrated.

Upon the back of the pocketbook is atransversely-arranged strapN, andasocket member O is secured to said strap, and directly underneath saidsocket member 0 is a fastener 0, designed to engage said socket memberand form two loops either side of the button, through which the strapscarrying the hose-supporting devices are adapted to pass and whereby thepocket-book is securely held to said straps. 7

By the provision of the apparatus shown and described it will be seenthat a simple and efficient means is provided for holding a pocket-bookto hose-supporting straps, so that there will be little likelihood ofthe pocketbook being lost or the contents therefrom.

While we have shown a particular detailed construction of apparatusillustrating our pocketbook andattach'ments therefor, it will beunderstood that we may make alterations in the detailed construction ofthe same, if found desirable, without in any way departing from thespirit of the invention.

Having thus fully described our invention,

what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. A pocket-book and means for supporting the same comprising, incombination with the hose supporting straps, a pocketbook having itsback extended to form an integral strap and engaged by the buckle of thehosesupporting straps, and means for holding the back of the pocket-bookto the branching straps of the hose-supporter, as set forth.

3. A pocket-book and hose-supporting attachment, comprising, incombination with the hose supporting straps, a pocket book havingpartitions of the compartments of the pocket-book extended beyond theend thereof forming flaps, socket members carried by said straps,fastening means secured to' the outer face of the pocket-book andadapted to be engaged by said flaps which are adapted to overlap eachother, and a strap secured to the back of the pocket-book, a socketmember carried by said strap, and a fastening member secured to the backof the pocket-book and adapted to be engaged by the socket member uponsaid strap, whereby two loops are formed to eifigage the straps of thesupporter, asset ort In testimony whereof we hereunto aflix oursignatures in presence of two witnesses.
